Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

You just have to take these opportunities when they come along. They're not that frequent; you'll get a really good script, oh, maybe once a year if you're lucky.

I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.

I wish in my own mind I were more definite - that I was absolutely convinced I'd never direct someone else's script, but I keep reading scripts, because I might find something.

I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.

I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.

I very rarely read a script that I don't feel I want to change a lot.

I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.

I have a stack of scripts that I've read - I'm in the lucky position where I get offered things - but I haven't wanted to direct many of them.
